As I’m sure many of you are well aware twelfth street rag lends itself beautifully to our little four stringed friend and has been a staple part of many great ukulele player’s repertoire since the 1920s and still today.
It is a piece of music that seems to have endless possibilities and plenty of room to elaborate and make your own.
This was one of the first pieces of music I ever learnt on the ukulele and is still one of my favourites to play.
In this workshop I will teach you how to play twelfth street rag and you will receive a print out with chords and instructions.
We will also however, look at how and where we can embellish this wonderful tune.
We will experiment with triplets, thumb rolls and split strokes within the piece.
If you already know these techniques, it will be a great opportunity to maybe learn how to utilise them more effectively.
Hope to see you there!
Workshop at 1:30pm, Lighthouse Bar
Workshop takes place on Saturday 24th and costs €19.
